THE 3HAI-FEST.
The Mcetlngof tho Fire Department Tues
day 'Ielit and the Proceedings of
their Deliberations.
An adjourned meeting of the Fire
Department was held at the Hook &
Ladder Hall on Tuesday evening at
8 p. m.
Chief Rankin called the meeting
to order and stated the object of the
meeting, which was to make prepara
tions for the annual mai-fest.
Judge Kirk was appointed per
manent chairman and Captain J. M.
Byrnes permanent secretary.
First in order was theTeport of
the committee appointed last Friday
to formulate a programme for the
coming mai-fest.
The committee submitted the fol
lowed report which was read and re
ceived and referred to the central
committee:
To the Hon. L. Kirk, Chairman Fire
Meeting.
Sir: -Your committee appointed to
formulate a programme for the com
ing Mai-fest would respectfully re
port that a majority of the commit
tee met and after discussing the
subject submit the following sug
gestions.
1 That tho May Queen feature be
abolished believing as we do tliat
the selection of a May Queen engen
ders lealousness and dissatisfaction
is a source of expense to the de
partment and the custom is rather
obsolete.
2 We would suggest in lieu of the
May Queen that sixty little girls be
selected from the public schools to
represent May Flowers and that
they be divided into three groups of
twenty each each group to be upon
a float and arranged to represent a
pyramid of flowers.
That the first twenty be dressed
in red, the next twenty in white and
the third twenty in blue, represent
ing the national colors, Red, White
and Blue, or flowers as the Roses,
the Lillies and the Violets.
3 That in the place of the corona
tion of May Queen and usual ad
dresses that the little children sing
when they arrive at the park.
4 Instead of the usual balloting
for May Queen and to protect the
citizen in that greatest of privileges,
the right to vote and have a free
ballot and fair count, we suggest
that the Marshal and assistants be
elected by ballot. The candidate
receiving the highest vote be de
clared Marshal and the two next as
sistants. That the price of ballots
be five cents and that ladies only
be permitted to vote. The candi
dates may be allowed to lobby, log
roll, and use every honorable means
to secure votes but under no circum
stances will any men be allowed to
vote.
5 We would suggest that the
"Address of Welcome' be limited to
a five minutes speech.
6 We suggest the two Military
Companies be invited to give an ex
hibition dnll on the ground at such
time as may be determined upon.
7 Believing that this being a Fire
men's feast, that the Fire Depart
ment should contribute their share
to make tho day a success, we ear
nestly recommend that the three
fire companies give an exhibition
drill with their fire apparatus.
8 We earnestly recommend that
the committee of amusement be care
fully selected and that they exert
themselves to make the day pleasant
for the little ones and that all kind
of games possible be selected and
suitable prizes be awarded.
9 We recommend that prizes be
awarded for the best display of farm
product, and that prizes be given
for the best bread, biscuits, rolls or
cake made by ladies only.
10 We suggest lhat the commit
tee correspond with Professor
Dwyer at "Now Boston, or any one
else they know of and see if they
cannot procure a Balloon Ascension
as one of the features of the day.
Also write to some Bicycle club and
see if we cannot have aBicycle Tour
nament. 11 We suggest that the Feast be
held for two days, but recommend
that under no circumstances the
second day be Saturday. Therefore
wo suggest Inursaay and nday
the 21st and 22d day of May.

The Gay Hill Schools, under the
able management of Miss Mallie
Morriss, are in a flourishing condi
tion. They have just completed
their free school term, but will con
tinue as a private school.
Last Saturday night the patrons
with a number of visitors, were
highly entertained in the tastefully
decorated school-building by a clos
ing concert, which consisted of
tableaux, recitations, and music ren
dered by the pupilB.
Mr. Foster of the Burton schools
greatly added to the enjoyment of
the occasion by a stirring recital of
Ihe Bum Maniac." Mr. Foster
displayed great elocutionary talent.
Mrs. Dr. Watkins contributed some
fine music.
Miss Morriss was assisted in the
literary work by Miss Upahaw, one
of Gay Hill's popular young ladies.
The musical department was super
intended by Mrs. Ed. Mills, who is a
sister of Miss Morriss.
Gay Hill is to be congratulated
upon such an energetic corps of
teachers, and these may well be
proud of their success. The stud
ents were orderly and' had Jhe un
mistakable bearing of ladies and
gentlemen.
